Do you wish for the beautiful lyrics, subtitles which come with videos and wish they come along with the download. To my happiness I found this way. Simply follow the steps and you can't stop smiling..!!





Method 1 

Just Need to follow these following instructions.

1. Copy and paste the following URL and replace the word "VIDEO-ID" in URL by Your You tube's Video ID. then press enter.

http://video.google.com/timedtext?lang=en&v=VIDEO-ID

NOTE:
To know the ID of Youtube Video.. 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULNrcqdjAt0

2. Now you 'll see the subtitles but it 'll with html tags .

3. Right click on the page and then click on option "view page source" then a page 'll appear.

4. Then just copy all the data of that page and go to this URL 


5. Paste all the data which you copied in the given section and press "Go" button.

6. Then you 'll find your subtitles/transcript/caption without tags. 

7. Congrats..!! :)

Note: No there is no way to download auto-transcriptions because its the voice software of you tube showing it ..YouTube API is not publishing them.



Method 2 

(Using Firefox Browser)

You can Download the caption / subtitle / transcript of you tube videos by Installing Firefox Plugin on your Firefox Browser.

Open your Firefox Browser and Just Go to This link 


and install this plugin on your Firefox browser.

After that  Restart your Firefox Browser and go to your Youtube Viedo of which you want to download Subtitles
.
When you 'll go to that video, you 'll see Caption Downloading button which i have showed in below Picture.


After Downloading this subtitle file you would not be able to open it directly. So you 'll have to Install subtitle workshop software.

Click here to download that software. After downloading this software. Extract it and then Run the "SubtitleWorkshop4.exe" file to open this software. Then click on "File" menu then click on "Load subtitle" then locate your subtitle file and open it. 
Now you 'll be able to read out your Subtitle easily :)
